I graduated high school, finished IB, got plenty of scholarship money, and was admitted into UBC with a second-year standing. Woo. I decided against McGill, and saw a good friend leave. Bah. The summer was... boring. Nothing really stands out, I went clubbing a lot, and met a lot of people. I had a few good short-term relationships, but nothing special. UBC is great, I met the most wonderful girls, and the stupidest guys, but hey, what do you expect with frat boys?
This year was alright, but next year will be infinitely better. January 1st going to the States (Arizona), February going to Cuba, and May-August going all over Europe. I've decided on a major (already, yes) and am on my way to getting my BA in three years and then on to law school. I'll turn 19 in Italy and be able to party with all my friends when I get back. Good times. =)

alot happenned for me in 2002.
I would say the first half was really really hard and fucked up, but the second half was self-affirming and exciting. -broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years in january -proceeded to get right into another "serious" relationship with a friend who i am now pretty sure is gay -all the while drowning myself in a nasty drug addiction and dealing with an onslaught of panic attacks, manic-depression and anxiety disorder -around may started going out with a guy i met at jungle breakdown 1 (BIG FUCKING MISTAKE, don't get serious with people you randomly meet at raves) who turned out to be a major fucking wierdo -meanwhile, coming damn close to flunking out of school, after being an honours student all through highschool, it was pretty scary to think i might not graduate. -somehow managed to graduate and get accepted to SFU -spent the summer in a small town, living with my mom for the first time in years, working, spending time with myself, becoming stable, overcoming wierd anxiety disorders and panic attack things -moved out, started university -soon met an amazing guy who is now my fiance and has helped me kick my chemical habit completely (so far...one day at a time, right?)and makes me happier than i have ever been -as the year ends, i feel hopeful, strong and most importantly, stable. I was such a wreck this time a year ago, it's just nice to be happy.

2002 hummmmm, well what a year that was for me.
I think this past year has been the biggest learning experance of my life (only 16 year but still) I lost so mnay friends, some by choice, and some against my will. BUt i also made so many new friends, that would do anything for me. I learned so much about myself and i leanred so many life lessons, which i know not many ppl my age or older then me have learned yet. I have learned that the JUSTIC system is BULL SHIT, and it doesnt matter if u are innocent or not. At this time last year, i thought life was so hard and that it couldnt get worse. Well fuck was i wrong. But thats ok, from all the mistakes i have made, and all the mistakes i have watched other ppl make i have learned a great deal. I have had to deal with so much, like friends, friends addicted to drugs, ppl dying, my moms split personalitys, and not to mention myself. I am a totally different person then i was at this time last year, and that fine by me, i know that i have grown up and matured a great deal. Its kinda weird to look back and see how u were only 365 days ago. Its also kinda weird to look back at some of the friends i had, that i thought i would have forever, and i look at them now, and they are still the same and havent changed one bit, and the funny this is that thoes are the ones that have disowned me which is kinda intresting because it shows that they arnt willing at accept change (including me when i change) and they are trying to stay at the time in their life where they dont have to worry about anything and they make their life out to be so hard and that no one understands how hard it is for them. ha ha ha ha no thats a laugh and a half, i would like to see them live one day in my shoes..... anyways over all i would have to rate this year 7/10, despite all the shitty times, all the friends lots, family problems, depression and lonliness, i learned so much about myself and i know in the end it will all work out, if i didnt do all the gowing up i did last year then i would just have to do it this year, so its nice to have some of it out of the way. It can only get better from now on (i hope)

year 2002 has been a real experience for me...
so many life altering things happened at the beginning of the year..althougth alot of terrible shit happened im glad it did because it has changed me for the better..i'm more aware of things now and for that i'm really greatful. i guess looking back in retrospect this year turned out pretty good,however, if i could erase the first 6 months i definetly would!well, i lived and i learned. i hope next year is better!

other than leaving my boyfriend of 2 years in a manic rage and having many regrets about it, this year has been pretty good.
- returned to langara college - discovered philosophy - moved to the drive - got a kitten - studied reiki - became more in-touch with my spiritual side - reconnected with old friends and made new ones

It was average for me. I've been more serious on my school work. Spent more time with friends and family. I got to know which friends are for real too. Through all this, I also got to learn myself better.
It wasn't anything life-changing. But 2002 opened my mind a bit more. It made me realize that not everything has to be done in a conventional fashion. Overall, a 7/10 I guess. That's like what everyone else is giving the year too.
